Den

At Den, negima is grilled until the spring onion is lightly charred. One diner felt that this brought out its sweetness and gave it a soft, almost melting texture. The skewer has also been described as generously sized, making it a good one to try first.

Skewers can reportedly be ordered from 1, so you can sample a few different cuts, such as chicken thigh, tenderloin and liver. One diner found the thigh skewer thick and juicy, while tenderloin is listed with seasonings including ume plum. Some diners have enjoyed the liver and tenderloin cooked without overdoing them through to the centre; they are worth considering if you want to compare the different skewers.

Between skewers, try a fried dish such as ham katsu or fried young chicken. For a more substantial finish, there are yakitori rice bowls in small, medium and large sizes, as well as rice balls and ochazuke—rice served with savoury toppings and broth or tea. These make an easy addition whether you are focusing on skewers or saving room for rice.

The drinks menu includes draft beer and sours, as well as sake. Ryuuki Junmai Dry Hiire from Gunma is described on the menu as having mellow umami and a dry taste, making it one option to pair with grilled skewers.

The restaurant is said to have mostly table seating, and some diners have used the sunken kotatsu seating. One review recommends booking, so it may be worth enquiring in advance if you plan to come with a group, particularly at the weekend.
